  • Such distribution machines comprise a container receiving the material to be distributed, on the bottom of which one or two outlet openings are usually arranged, the respective outlet opening being assigned a metering element in order to remove the material to be distributed from the container in the desired quantity - or more precisely: with the desired mass flow.
  • the dosing device is by means of a suitable one Actuating element in the form of a hydraulic or electric cylinder can be opened and closed in order to be able to set the desired mass flow depending on the desired distribution width of the distribution material on the floor, depending on the driving speed and on the physical properties of the distribution material, such as its flowability.
  • a distribution element by means of which the material to be distributed is distributed over the desired working width.
  • Some distribution machines are also equipped with a device for adjusting the point of application of the material to be distributed to the distribution element, in particular formed by a distributor plate equipped with spreading vanes, the point of application being radial with respect to the distributor plate (in particular to enlarge / reduce the spreading fan) and / or in Circumferential direction (in particular for rotating the scatter fan about about the axis of rotation of the distributor disc) can be adjustable.

  • a device for adjusting the point of application of the material to be distributed to the distribution element in particular formed by a distributor plate equipped with spreading vanes, the point of application being radial with respect to the distributor plate
  • the distribution material be it in the form of fertilizer or seeds in a field or be it in the form of grit or salt on a road - large quantities of particles of earth, sand, dust and the like are usually found whirled up, which in particular can get to the dispensing elements arranged below the container and their actuating cylinders as well as to the frequently available device for adjusting the point of application of the material to be dispensed onto the distributing elements or their actuating cylinders, which, depending on the nature and size of the particles, can impair the function.
  • the material to be distributed which is also in powder or particle form, often tends to accumulate on the functional parts of the aforementioned type located below the container, with most solid fertilizers and road salt in particular having a hygroscopic character, so that they are associated with Humidity or even rain or snow (slush) agglomerate and adhere increasingly to the functional parts in more or less hard agglomerates as the output increases.
  • the EP 2 727 449 A1 counteracts this problem in a generic distribution machine with a cleaning device arranged below the container and equipped with a plurality of fluid nozzles.
  • This offers decisive advantages - also with regard to cleaning the dosing elements themselves or the distribution elements - the between the cleaning processes carried out, increasing contamination of the actuating cylinders during operation is nevertheless a problem with regard to their functional and maintenance reliability and their necessary robustness.
  • Such electric cylinders are often equipped with displacement sensors in order to record the precise pull-out position of the piston rod in relation to the cylinder, which is representative of the open position of the metering element or the position of the feed point, and in particular to use it for control purposes ( DE 40 12 826 A1 respectively. DE 41 34 315 A1 ).
  • Such an electromotive spindle drive of a rotatably mounted metering slide of a metering element of a disk spreader, provided with a gear, is for example the DE 41 05 059 C2 can be seen, wherein at the free end of the translationally displaceable spindle, a lever connecting it to the metering slide is articulated and a position detection sensor is assigned to the electromotive spindle drive.
  • the EP 0 222 337 B1 describes another disc spreader with a device arranged below the metering elements and comprising translationally displaceable slides for adjusting the point of application of the material to be distributed to the distribution elements, which can be actuated to reduce the so-called mass effect depending on the mass flow of material to be distributed which is set by means of the metering elements. While the metering elements have a rotation-driven metering roller which can be connected to the PTO shaft of a tractor, the slides of the device for shifting the feed point are in turn connected to an electromotive spindle drive via a lever linkage.
  • the EP 2 301 316 A1 describes another two-disc spreader, which has metering elements each with two separate metering slides, the adjustment of which is independent of one another makes it possible to change the contour of the free metering opening and in this way to modify the spread pattern in such a way that, in addition to a "normal" spread pattern, a steep-sided spread pattern can be achieved, as is desired in border or edge spreading.
  • the dosing member can on the one hand comprise a dosing plate with a dosing opening, on the other hand a dosing slide for closing the dosing opening and for adjusting the opening width of the dosing opening.
  • the metering slide can be adjusted to the desired position by means of a motorized actuating device assigned to it about the hinge axis of a hinge pin on which the metering slide is pivotally mounted. Furthermore, a second metering slide is pivotally mounted on the pivot pin, wherein electric actuators are provided for driving both metering slides.

  • the rotating floors are each driven by an electric cylinder which can be actuated separately from one another or by means of a common electric cylinder and a corresponding lever system.
  • the electric cylinders In order to protect the electric cylinders as far as possible from external influences, such as fertilizer grains in particular, they are arranged approximately transversely to the direction of travel of the distributor in a central area between the distributor disks and offset in the direction of travel in relation to their axes, so that they are largely free of fertilizer particles which are thrown off the distributor disks are protected.
  • EP 1 145 814 B1 a distribution machine again configured in the form of a disc spreader can be seen, which comprises a sleeve which is arranged directly above the surface of the distributor disc and can be rotated coaxially therewith by means of an electric cylinder.
  • the material to be distributed is fed to the sleeve by means of the metering element and is applied to the surface of the distributor disk in its central region via a radial feed opening of the sleeve.
  • the invention has for its object a distribution machine of the type mentioned in a simple and inexpensive To further develop in such a way that, while at least largely avoiding the abovementioned disadvantages, even under the action of aggressive powdery or particulate substances, including moisture or wetness, in extreme weather conditions, the operational reliability is increased and, preferably, the power consumption is also reduced.
  • control elements of the metering slide of the metering element and / or the device for adjusting the point of application of the material to be distributed onto the distribution element initially eliminates all control elements comprising telescoping parts (ie both with the control cylinders described above - be they hydraulic or are electrical - as also problems associated with the spindle drives, the translatory back and forth movement of which is transferred to the respective functional part) with regard to harmful caking of Contaminants, such as material particles, dirt and / or moisture, on their piston rod or adjusting spindle, since the output shaft of the electromotive rotary drive according to the invention is arranged axially fixed and, with the avoidance of telescopic movements, does not perform a translatory but only a rotary movement which is transferred to the displaceable functional part , Furthermore, according to the invention, the purely rotary movement or the torque of the output shaft of the electromotive rotary drive or the transmission output shaft is in particular transmitted to the functional part, which in turn can be rotated or also translationally
  • the electromotive rotary drive can also be designed to be very compact and space-saving due to the lack of translationally movable drive means and is therefore ideally suited for the very limited space available below the container of the generic type for serving the spreading material, in particular (two) disc spreaders, wherein the output shaft can for example only comprise a shaft stub, the rotational movement or the torque of which is transmitted to the respective functional part.
  • the effort required by the electromotive rotary drive due to the lack of translationally movable and in particular telescopic drive means compared to the prior art is significantly lower and consequently the efficiency is significantly higher than that of electric actuating cylinders or adjusting spindles, so that the energy consumption is reduced and there is also no risk of overloading the On-board network of the distribution machine itself or a tractor, such as a tractor or a road vehicle. Accordingly, there is also less wear due to the lower necessary driving forces, which reduces the maintenance intervals and in particular minimizes the risk of breakdown during seasonal use just at the time when the distributor is needed.
  • the displaceable functional part of the distributing machine can, in particular when it is connected to at least one lever eccentrically articulated on the output shaft of the electromotive rotary drive or on the gear output shaft, be translationally or in turn rotatable.
  • the displaceable functional part can be rotated by being pivoted or rotatably mounted about a pivot or rotation axis, which e.g. by means of levers, rotationally fixed connection to the output or transmission output shaft, meshing gears or belt drives, preferably in the form of toothed belt drives, is in operative connection with the output or transmission output shaft and is actuated by the latter.
  • the electromotive rotary drive is expediently accommodated in at least one housing in order to contain all of its functional components To offer the greatest possible protection against external influences and, in particular, to reliably prevent corrosion due to the penetration of moisture and aggressive fine particles, such as scattering or seed particles made of mineral fertilizer or road salt flying around during the spreading or sowing work.
  • the electromotive rotary drive can in particular be accommodated in a single, common housing or the electric motor and optionally one or more gearboxes connected downstream of it (see further below) can be accommodated in separate housings which are fastened to the housing of the electromotive rotary drive to ensure that the components of the electromotive rotary drive are closed on all sides, possibly together with the gearbox.

  • the control and / or regulating device can, for example, also comprise a control board, which can also be accommodated in the permanently sealed housing of the electromotive rotary drive or in a separate operating module or operating terminal.
  • An input device can be appropriately assigned to it in the usual way in order to command the control and / or regulating device according to the desired settings of the metering slide of the metering element and / or the point of application of the distribution material to the distribution element.
  • the input device can, for example, be accommodated in the driver's cab of a tractor, such as a tractor or a road vehicle, or by one portable operating terminal be formed to provide the desired remote control in the usual way.

  • the rotary electric motor drive can in particular have an electrical interface which can be connected to the electrical power supply of the tractor.
  • the metering slide of the at least one dosing element cooperates with the outlet opening arranged in a bottom of the container and between a closed position in which it closes the outlet opening completely and a plurality of opening positions in which it completely or partially opens the outlet opening by one, in particular essentially vertical, Swivel axis is pivotable.
  • the metering slide can preferably be pivoted on the base provided with the outlet opening, either fixed or - in the case of a device for adjusting the point of application of the material to be distributed to the distribution element according to the first alternative described above - rotatable base of the container can be stored, resulting in a very space-saving arrangement due to the storage of the metering slide directly on the floor. Furthermore, it may be advantageous for the same purposes if the electromotive rotary drive is fixed directly or - if present - indirectly via its gear to the bottom of the container provided with the outlet opening.
  • the electromotive rotary drive and the gearbox can consequently also be fixed directly to the bottom of the container, which likewise results in a very small space requirement and an arrangement very close to the metering slide, in order to keep the number of movable parts which mechanically translate the rotational movement induced by means of the electromotive rotary drive into a swiveling movement of the metering slide.
  • a handle in particular essentially in the form of an operating lever that can be arranged on the metering slide eccentrically to its pivot axis, is assigned to the metering slide in order to be able to actuate the metering slide manually.

  • the dosing device can trickle out, which would not only result in both economic and environmental damage, but in particular also represented a high safety risk with regard to a risk of slipping if the material to be distributed came into contact with the usual shocks and vibrations while driving on public roads. Since the self-locking forces of conventional electromotive rotary drives are lower in comparison to (electrical) piston / cylinder units, the electromotive rotary drive does not necessarily have to be decoupled from the metering slide for this purpose, but the output shaft can usually be moved as well.

  • a sun gear 70 which is in the In the present case, it is configured in one piece with the bevel gear 68, but can of course also be formed by a separate gear.
  • the transmission output shaft 71 which in the present case is mounted in the transmission housing 63 by means of a slide bearing 72 for reasons of space, but can of course also be supported in principle by means of a roller bearing (not shown), extends parallel to the intermediate shaft 67 and stands with the sun gear 70 thereof one best in the Fig. 10 Recognizable planet gear cutout 73 in meshing engagement, which sits non-rotatably on the transmission output shaft 71.
  • the planet gear cutout 73 has an essentially circular sector shape and extends over a circular arc 73a (cf. Fig. 10 ), which corresponds at least to the swivel angle required to move the metering slide 18 (cf. Fig.
  • the transmission output shaft 71 can be positioned very close to an edge of the transmission housing 63, which can also have a reduced overall height h in the region of the transmission output shaft 63, which makes it possible, even in the case of a very restricted installation space, to arrange the transmission housing 63 in a coaxial arrangement
  • the transmission output shaft 71 consequently also penetrates in the configuration according to 8 to 10 the gear housing 63 and is against the latter by means of a mechanical seal 40 (cf. Fig. 8 ) sealed dust and liquid tight.
  • the transmission output shaft 71 is in turn provided with a suitable profiling 74 by means of which they rotate with the pivot axis D of the metering slide 18 of the metering element (cf. Fig. 3 ) can be connected.
  • a position detection sensor 42 which, in the present exemplary embodiment, is arranged on the circumference of the intermediate shaft 67 and comprises, for example, induction sensors which, in the manner of an angle sensor, determine the exact angular position of the intermediate shaft 67 or - taking into account the reduction ratio of the combination of sun gear 70 and planet gear cutout 73 - of the metering slide 18, which is non-rotatably connectable to the gearbox output shaft 71.
  • the position detection sensor 42 can, however, in principle also on the output shaft 34 of the electromotive drive unit 28a (for example in analogy to the embodiment according to FIG Fig. 6 ) or - if sufficient installation space is available - be arranged on the transmission output shaft 71.
  • control and / or regulating device of the distributing machine in order to set the desired metering quantities and, in particular, to regulate it on the distribution material (not shown) by means of the actual mass flow, which is also sensed by sensors.
  • a position indicator 90, 91 in the form of a pointer can expediently be connected to each rotatable base 14, 15, which cooperates with a scale 92, 93 which is fixed to a respective container part 8, 9 of the container 7 and which has a position of the drop point representing scaling.
